Street Dance Training for Children, Teens and Adults.
We create dancers. At USDD, learning goes beyond remembering a routine. Our training brings together street dance foundations, musicality, freestyle, choreography and performance, helping dancers develop confidence and a style of their own.
Some dancers join for enjoyment. Others work towards performances, battles, leadership or further training. Every journey begins with strong foundations and a chance to try.

What dancers learn
Foundations come first: grooves, bounce, footwork and the posture that makes street dance look relaxed rather than stiff. Rhythm and musicality follow — counting music, catching accents in the beat and changing texture as a track changes.
Freestyle is practised in a supportive circle, so dancers learn to use their own ideas instead of only copying steps. Progression is individual: teachers suggest next steps — such as choreography, Fast Track or performance opportunities — when a dancer is ready, not on a fixed timescale.
How registration and confirmation work
Choose a class on the timetable. The registration form saves your details against that exact class and location as pending, then USDD contacts you to confirm before your first session. Please do not attend until you have that confirmation.
Open youth classes — Medway Kids, and USDD Youth Theatre in Medway and at Elephant & Castle — start with a £5 trial after a parent completes the parent registration form. Fast Track places are by application, and every Kids and Youth Theatre class now takes free January 2027 trial bookings for new families — pending until USDD confirms the date and place, with no payment collected. Trials and waiting lists are not term enrolment: Youth Theatre six-week terms (£75, or £60 if registered before 1 November 2026) are offered after placement confirmation, and USDD sends payment details.
Adult Hip-Hop sessions are £15 per session for ages 18+: Tuesday Leake Street sessions are booked directly on Acuity, and for Friday sign-ups in Chatham USDD confirms your place and payment details. USDD Academy Training (18–25) is a proposed January 2027 intake for London and Medway — interest only for now, with dates and venue to be confirmed, and kept separate from youth registration.

Words from the family.
"My son barely spoke to anyone outside the house before USDD Kids. Two terms in, he's leading freestyle circles, made a tight group of friends and just performed in his first showcase. The teachers know how to bring shy kids out of their shell without forcing it."
"I came back to dance at 34 after a decade off. Walked in thinking I'd be the oldest in the room and within ten minutes felt like I belonged. Real teaching — they break down the WHY, not just the steps. Three months in I'm freestyling at jams for the first time in my life."
